goalunited next open beta

Hi managers!

Tons of fresh news from our goalunited football universe: The Open Beta
of goalunited next is starting right now!
Beside this big news we have a lot of additional information for you that we
want to present here.

First up:

goalunited 2015 will be kept as we love it and will not be updated to
the new version.

goalunited next will come as new and separate game. This means, in
summer you will start with completely new accounts and you can be there from
the Start.

For a while now GU next has been running as a Closed Beta. This means
that until now only select GU 2015 players could test it. This changes with the
switch to the Open Beta. All players are invited and can register from tomorrow
on inside goalunited 2015 or visit our Facebook-Page for further options (http://www.facebook.com/goalunited). The managers
that have already been playing on the closed beta can simply keep playing –
your clubs will stay as they are. For those of you that would like to start
with a new club and have reached level 30, you can create a new club with the
Top Manager.

Important: Even in the Open Beta not all features are available, we will
regularly add additional features. New for example is the quest system. At
first it will primarily guide new managers through the start phase (ideal test
case by creating a new club with the Top Manager feature)
– For the future new quests with rewards are planned. There will also be a few
new leagues, the new staff and the shop. We have also resolved many bugs and
stability issues.

Almost throughout the complete Open Beta phase we will run a STAR rebate
with a special highlight: You receive 20% more STARS free. For this pay
attention to the highlighted packages XS-XXL. At the end of the Open Beta you
will receive a voucher over the amount of purchased STARS. This means you get
to use all purchased STARS in the Summer, even those that you have used on the
Open Beta. This means you get the STARS
twice, and that for a reduced price.

At the same time the tablet version can be tested, but not by all players.
For this users will be able to apply in the forum and we will invite 1000
randomly chosen users. For the first test an iPad2 (or better) is needed.

And that is not all:

For some weeks after the start of goalunited next in the summer we are also planning a
free companion App for your smart phone (for iOS, a little later also for
Android). GU LIVE allows you to check the most important infos on the go and
with that to never lose touch. At first the app will include the live ticker,
league overview, as well as the player list and manager search. Features under
development for the future are formation, playing cards in the live ticker and
training. And more features are planned for GU LIVE.

We hope you are looking forward to the Open Beta as much as we are! Your
feedback is appreciated and therefore a GU next Open Beta forum will be
offered.
